Frequently Asked Questions
Other FAQs :
- Q: What are the reasons for sealing tiles and grout?
- A: Sealing tiles and grout is an effective way to protect them from the various factors that can lead to deterioration and loss of appearance. Surfaces are constantly exposed to traffic, UV rays, moisture, rain, chemicals, and impurities like oil, gas, grease, acids, and salt. These elements can cause problems such as cracking, pitting, scaling, spalling, delamination, dusting, discoloration, efflorescence, and salt damage. By using high-quality sealers like Australia's Deepshield™ deep impregnating range, you can prevent unsightly stains, preserve the original color of the tiles, and keep your tiled floors looking their best for a longer period of time. Sealing offers excellent maintenance benefits and helps to maintain the overall quality and appearance of your tiles and grout.
- Q: What can one expect during the floor sealing process when professionals arrive?
- A: When our professional team arrives to seal your floors, you can expect a thorough and transparent process. We will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the entire process, ensuring effective communication. The sealing process typically begins with the potential removal of any previous sealer, if necessary. The floor will then undergo meticulous cleaning and neutralization to eliminate dust, residues, and other substances that could affect the performance of the new sealer. Afterward, a fresh layer of sealer will be applied, allowing sufficient time for it to set and cure properly. This will restore your floors to their original appearance while providing enhanced protection. Additionally, the sealed floor will be easier to maintain, reducing the effort required for routine cleaning and upkeep.
- Q: What is the usual lifespan of the sealer before it requires reapplication?
- A: The lifespan of a sealer before reapplication is influenced by the type of sealer used. Topical sealers typically provide protection for approximately 3 years before requiring reapplication. In contrast, impregnating sealers are more durable and can last up to 15 years or even a lifetime when applied to vertical surfaces. However, areas with high foot traffic or frequent use may necessitate more frequent inspections and resealing to ensure ongoing protection. Conducting a water absorption test can help assess the porosity of the surface and aid in selecting a sealer with longer-lasting durability. It is advisable to refer to the guidelines provided by the manufacturer and consult professionals to determine the specific reapplication schedule suitable for your tiles and grout.
- Q: What are the potential consequences of neglecting to seal floors?
- A: Neglecting to seal floors can leave them vulnerable to potential damage. Without proper sealing, spills containing oil or harsh substances can penetrate the surface, resulting in permanent stains that are difficult to remove using regular household cleaning methods. It is essential to prioritize sealing in order to protect the fresh appearance and structural integrity of your floors. Sealing creates a protective barrier that guards against permanent staining and helps prevent accidental damage in the future. By investing in floor sealing, you can extend the lifespan of your floors' optimal appearance and enjoy the benefits of easier and more convenient maintenance.
- Q: Can sealing effectively prevent efflorescence?
- A: Efflorescence is a phenomenon where salts migrate to the surface of porous materials during water evaporation, resulting in a whitish coating and potential damage to the surface finish. To effectively prevent efflorescence, it is crucial to apply a high-quality water-resistant sealer from a reputable range. However, it is important to note that efflorescence can also be influenced by factors such as water penetration. Therefore, it is essential to address any underlying causes of water penetration, such as repairing leaks or damaged grout, to effectively prevent efflorescence. By combining proper sealing with resolving the water source, proactive measures can be taken to minimize the occurrence of efflorescence and maintain the integrity of the surface.
